Pootler's Design Team September, Week 4

Jillian Selwood, Purple Jelly Designs, Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator

I can't believe it's week 4 of this challenge already.

Today I decided to use the 'You put the Merry in my Christmas' stamp to make a spinner card.

I started with a card base of Cherry Cobbler cardstock. I then die cut the circles out of another piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock. Stampin' Up! brought out a sliding star framelits die in the Annual Catalogue which makes these cards so easy to make. If you don't have the framelits you can use the layering circles framelits instead.

I stamped the sentiment on the bottom in versamark ink and heat embossed in gold. I also stamped the second smallest snowflake from the Flurry of Wishes stamp set on the circle and heat set that in gold embossing powder. I also dipped the edge of the circle in my versamark ink so I could give it a gold edge.  Then I stamped the smallest snow flake and punched out using the matching punch.

I used a piece of This Christmas DSP for the background. I then put it all together using the new Foam strips which makes it very quick and easy to assemble. I used two 5p pieces to make the spinner element and trimmed the edges off a Stampin' Dimensional before adhering them together.

I'm really pleased with this card. What do you think?

Thank you for stopping by this week and reading my blog, I do hope you’ve enjoyed it. Until next week.

Pootlers Team Blog Hop September 2016

Jillian Selwood, Purple Jelly Designs, Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator

Thank you so much for joining us for our Pootler's Team Blog Hop! This is the first time I've been brave enough to join the hop. This time we are celebrating the launch of the Autum / Winter catalgoue which went live on Thursday 1st September 2016.

I am rather addicted to making spinner cards at the moment so I jumped at the chance to make another for this challenge using the new Candy Cane Lane DSP. When I first saw this paper I thought the spiral sweet would be perfect as the spinner element and it works perfectly.

I started off with a base of Thick Whisper White and used the spiral sweet paper as a backing. Stampin' Up! brought out a sliding star framelits die in the Annual Catalogue which makes these cards so easy to make. If you don't have the framelits you can use the layering circles framelits instead. I fussy cut one of the gorgeous gingerbread men out and adhered in to the middle of the circle. I use 5p pieces for the spinner element, they work perfectly.

I used the sentiment from the Embellished Ornaments stamp set which  I heat embossed in gold before layering it onto a piece of DSP, I adhered it to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Don't forget to use the buttons below to continue hopping, 'Next' will take you to Lynn and 'Previous' takes you to Fiona

Thank you for stopping by this week and reading my blog, I do hope you’ve enjoyed it. Until next week.

Card swap – March

The card swap for this month is Trains, planes and automobiles.

I had recently bought the ‘Guy Greetings’ stamp set from Stampin’ Up! and fortunately this included a lovely vintage car. I was rather pleased with how this turned out.

My card from Angelina at Intatwyne Designs is a slider card and is absolutely stunning. I’ve never made a slider card so I think I need to check out some videos on You Tube and start practising!

The theme for next month is Pets or Animals – again another hard one for me as I don’t have any stamps that are suitable.
